Containership giant Atlas Corp has filled its vacant chief financial officer role by appointing former AP Moller-Maersk executive Graham Talbot.
The New York-listed company, which owns boxship lessor Seaspan, lost former finance chief Ryan Courson to property group EagleView in September.
Atlas then conducted an extensive worldwide search for a candidate with "significant global enterprise experience".
The group said it wanted proven leadership skills.
Talbot has been working in finance in the energy sector for more than 25 years and has held senior leadership roles across Europe, Australia and the Middle East.
Wide experience
He was most recently the finance chief of Abu Dhabi Power Corp, and before that executive vice president and chief financial officer for Maersk Energy and for Maersk Oil, both in Denmark.
He has also worked for BG Group in Australia and spent 23 years with Shell in senior international finance roles based in Guam, the UK, the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates and Australia.
"Graham is a seasoned professional with an accomplished and distinguished finance career and demonstrated successes in key financial and operational disciplines required of a world-class CFO," Atlas chief executive Bing Chen said.
"His profound experiences at the global CFO level will be integral and will support many of the initiatives, challenges and the anticipated growth that we expect to deliver upon here at Atlas."
Courson, who had been in the role since May 2018, left on 30 September and Chen stepped into his shoes on an interim basis.
Last month, Seaspan sold securities worth more than $200m to fund potential acquisitions.
